The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Directed by Andrew Dominik
Outlaw Jesse James is rumored to be the 'fastest gun in the West'. An eager recruit into James' notorious gang, Robert Ford eventually grows jealous of the famed outlaw and, when Robert and his brother sense an opportunity to kill James, their murderous action elevates their target to near mythical status.

Obv Casey Affleck & Brad Pitt were great but supporting cast INCREDIBLE. Paul Schneider stole several scenes. Shot by Roger Deakins! And?Gorgeously narrated by (non-actor) 1st Asst Editor?!

Did the filmmakers really rip off a mediocre TV movie? What's going on here? 🧵

My suggestion is [The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443680/).

neutral · AI labelView post →The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford feels like Ken Burns' historical eye filtered through Scorsese's fascination with damaged men and Malick's poetic, dreamlike style. It's a Western that plays more like an elegy than a shootout. But it also has its own identity.
